How do you intend to oust?
Stealthy bleeds of 2-3 on my predator's turn, along with choice votes.
How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Abbot, Raven Spy, Sport Bike, on an Eternally Vigilant Cailean.
What do you want your ready region to look like
(ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
Cailean first, then Beast, when necessary, then others.
What do you want your average turn to look like?
Once the Eternal Vigilance is in play, I'd like an archbishop or cardinal
to call a vote and have it pass. Then other minions can rush (if they're
Beast) or bleed. On my predator's turn, block something with the Eternally
Vigilant titled vampire and untap afterwards with Cat's Guidance to enable
an Enkil Cog based bleed to get lots of pool from Using The Advantage.
What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
Wildly varied. Anything from Horde Scobax to Anson/Anneke/Alexandra.
What problems have you observed with the deck in play?
Haven't played it yet. Opened some boxes of Third Edition and got inspired
by Using the Advantage. The original vote deck that is based on has won many
local games but hasn't yet won a tournament.
